    Xbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make a good rally game, dear Dice. There's is some issues with it, including: crazy difficulty in "normal" mode, beginner is bearable; cars handle like Forza 1,2 which was bad and almost identical, but you can actually feel here different types of road andXbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make a good rally game, dear Dice. There's is some issues with it, including: crazy difficulty in "normal" mode, beginner is bearable; cars handle like Forza 1,2 which was bad and almost identical, but you can actually feel here different types of road and grip, tho you couldn't turn without drift whatsoever... so it should be named Initial D: Rallidrift Challenge, tho AI opponents can handle turns alright. I almost beat it, but I don't feel like finish it, cos I've had enough. I suffered through "normal" difficulty at first which is insane, but also tried "beginner", where you can actually beat solo, timed point to point races, but races with opponents become too easy. The game is kinda fun, but it's not very well done, it's more like a tech demo of a racing engine. There's also custom soundtracks support (super eurobeat recommended) and a killer car is a Nissan with 150hp if I recall that right. I'll give it 65. We'll see if you did it right in your second attempt, Rallisport 2.… Expand

    Easily my favorite rally game. It's great to play on your own, but it really shines when you play it in multiplayer. Those over the top crashes and great selection of courses will keep you laughing for hours!

    Oh yeah, and the graphics are amazing too.

    Best graphics I have ever seen in a video game. Fun to play. The developers put a lot of effort into this game and it shows. A must have game.

    Great graphics, shallow gameplay. Probably won´t last for so long. Multiplayer (split-screen) is satisfying but nothing special.

    Once you get the hook, this game really rocks! Everything of an "arcade racer" is there: Lotsa tracks/cars, speedy gameplay, great graphics.

    Best rally game I've played. Beautiful environments and good smooth 3D rendering. Strangely the demo movie published to show this game off looks much worse that the actual game itself! In the movie the graphics was jerky, and non smooth. The actual game runs silk smooth. The cars aren't rendered as good as in Gotham Racing though, some of them look outright strange.

    Anyone who thinks this isn't the best detailed racing game available to date, needs glasses. Period.

    Compared with the other racing games available on the xbox this is possibly the worse. Probably the worse on any Xbox. Wait for CMR3 from Codemasters.

    In addition to lots of racing choices, "RalliSport" has impressive force feedback in the game controller.

    Overly long and unimaginative tracks punctuate the wide selection of courses and it's impossible to know them all well enough to become fond of their individual traits. [Summer 2002, p.88]

    Some incredibly intense racing.
